Victoria Beckham has never made the cover of American Vogue. But boy do they love her over at British Vogue, where she has the February cover! She tells the ladymag: "The other morning I looked across at David just after he'd woken up and thought you look really crap. THANK GOD, because this is a man who always looked so perfect." Here we were thinking morning conversations chez Beckham were more along the lines of "No, you're prettier." [Vogue UK]

British GQ included both David and Romeo Beckham on its best-dressed list. Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria's middle son, is 8 years old. [Sun]

Rico Rodriguez, who plays something on some show we don't watch and holy hell it appears that he was born in nineteen-ninety-fucking-eight, has a clothing line. Of course. [@StarringRico]

Taylor Momsen is on the cover of the French magazine Rock One — but miraculously, the 17-year-old is not nude, or even particularly "provocatively" dressed. [JustJared]

Sarah Burton, on succeeding her former boss and mentor, Lee Alexander McQueen: "I thought: how would I ever begin to begin? Lee's mind was so different to anyone else's. I knew there was no way I could pretend to be him; but I had to ask myself, what did Lee work for? For all this just to close down?" And: "People ask: what's Sarah about? But I've worked here for so long, there's been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I'm not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That's what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work." [Vogue UK]

Tavi Gevinson takes a trip to Gwen Stefani's showroom to check out her L.A.M.B. line in the new Teen Vogue. Gevinson writes: "When the photographer suggested we look more active, Gwen would say things like, 'Let me show you this purse!' in a sarcastic way that poked fun at how awkward it was to create the illusion of natural conversation through midsentence expressions. Even better was when she pointed to a botched sample bag and smiled for the camera, uttering through clenched teeth: 'See these little dots? They make me want to punch someone.'" [Teen Vogue]

Naomi Campbell's married billionaire Russian boyfriend, Vlad Doronin: Still married, still a billionaire, still her boyfriend. (But he spent the holidays with his wife, from whom he's long been separated, and their children.) [Monsters & Critics]

Gerard Butler: "I think he's like the ultimate dude you want to be. He's an action star. He's fun. He's good with women, plays poker, does all those things. Very much lives life to the fullest." He's not talking about his next film role — he's talking about the character he plays to sell L'Oréal products to men. [JustJared]

Anna Dello Russo — the famously overdressed Vogue Nippon fashion director who is vague about how she comes by her collection of couture, her two apartments full of current-season runway looks, and her 4,000-plus pairs of designer shoes — says she doesn't "tone down" her outfits to go to the supermarket. "Supermarket? I don't go to the supermarket! I'd rather buy clothes. Clothes are my religion." [Vogue UK]

It's looking more and more like Hearst, which publishes Harper's Bazaar among other titles, is going to acquire the U.S. edition of Elle — probably by the end of this month. But current Elle parent company Lagardère intends to somehow maintain editorial control over the magazine. [WWD]

Fashionista speculates that Hearst will seek to chip away at this separation of powers, and that if it does so, a "mass exodus" of Elle editorial staffers will ensue. [Fashionista]
